The Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County is helping families prepare their children for the 2018/2019 School Session. The Clubs helps children fill their book bag with the necessary items for their classroom activities. It is noted that an unprepared child is a distracted child.
Members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County participate in the After School Educational Programs offered at the Club. It is the desire of the Boys & Girls Club that all children will realize academic success. Academic success can be achieved by classroom participation and willingness to learn.
The Reading Program at the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County plays a big part in the children’s ability read fluently, comprehend what they read and demonstrate in increase in their vocabulary usage.
Through the 2017/2018 school year and by the results of pre and post testing, the Boys & Girls Club Reading Program produced sizeable and quantifiable results for participating members. The average Club member showed an increase of 1.74 grade levels. A child who is reading at their grade level will demonstrate a desire to learn and exhibit an eagerness to remain in school as they engage in classroom activities. It is duly noted that when a child is unprepared for daily classroom activities, they will become disruptive and present distractions for the teachers as well as other students. Through the Education Programs at the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County, children are assisted with their homework by staff or volunteers on a daily basis to assure them that they are ready to participate in the next day classroom activities as they look forward to remaining in school and graduation.
